Hola peeps!!
Wow, it seems is ages since I last posted anything! I'm sorry u guys! It's difficult for me to blog even though my com is in my room 24/7. Haha! Most of the time, if I'm not caught up with things, I'm just plain lazy. Of coz, vice versa. How to blog then? Haha! Oh such lame excuses I know. Oh wells, what matters, I'm back now and I hope it's for good. My passion to blog is still there. Just that it isn't all burning and raging right now. Oh crapz!
Moving along, I must say the Vietnam Immersion Programme (VIP) was an ultimate success! Despite the heavy rain almost every day, everything still went on smoothly. We visited every places listed in the initiary - even more! The exchange rate was SGD1 = 10,000 d(ong). U think that's little? U can easily get two bottled drinks and two choc breads! Haha! Life was like in heaven there. Vietnam was almost totally the opposite of what I pictured it to be. I wasn't expecting a nice hotel, nice foods, nice sceneries and so on but I was definitely proven wrong. I was even damn shocked to see high end boutiques there (LV, Gucci, Tods etc.)! Vietnam definitely is developing fast. Shopping was insane at the Bhen Than Market! Everything is under one roof. From souvenirs to local delights to imitation non-authentic goods, be prepared to shop till u drop! Just be good at haggling and u can find urself craving for more. I will never ever forget that experience. It's so frustrating and exciting at the same time. Haha!
There's so much for me to talk about Vietnam or Saigon to be exact. U will probably fall asleep if I list them all here. Mrs Tan said I can share my experience some time next week with the whole class so I guess I'll describe more in detail then. ;) It's a great experience overall and was such an eye opener for me. For those who perhaps get the chance to visit Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) next time, u definitely won't regret the trip. It's worthit. In fact, I think it's better than visiting Paris or New York and stay in damn expensive hotels (hinted at the tai tai teacher! :P).
In addition of me experiencing a totally new country, I also get to experience how it's like being in a budget airline!!! Haha! Jetstar, well, I may or may not recommend that flight to anyone. Surprisingly I fit the seat but the leg room is not much bigger than sitting in a bus. 2 hours is enough to give me cramps. Especially on the return trip where I was cooped up by the window. Haha! Funny thing was, the steward and stewardess were also "budget". Really! They use their own pants, their faces are nothing more than ur neighbour next door and their attitude is so Singaporean. Sheesh! How unglam! Haha! In fact, one of the steward told me that if I were a little smaller in size, I would have make the cut to be their steward. What? Urgh no thanx. Anyways, how can he say such a thing to a passenger? What if I'm offended in some ways? Haha!! But the job's truly is more relaxing as they don't serve refreshements blah2. They only walk up and down the aisle with their trolley full of Jetstar goodies and hope people will buy. Once someone shows interest, they will "force" them to buy. Haha! In fact I was coaxed into buying two of their similar souvenirs. Luckily I wasn't easily taken in and ended up buying just one. A freaking small miniature jetstar plane already cost 7 bucks. They're very extremely good at doing business and making up for the loss they suffered by operating a budget carrier. Haha! If not for the bumpy ride, I may have consider budget carriers (Jetstar one of them) for my subsequent trips anywhere. . . *shrugs*
Aite life back in Singapore is pretty much the same. Was damn sick for 5 days on the last week of school holidays. Felt so useless! I did nothing. Sigh. What to do right? Btw, school has reopened for 4 days now and it's not fun at all! Such a total waste of time. There's nothing to look forward to nowadays (except meeting friends). Classes gets more boring, teachers coming to class late etc. For all u know, teachers always have courses to attend and I always wonder, what on earth are those for? To produce better quality teachers? Right. We're not learning much each day ok! I really feel like I'm in kindergarten! Worst still, nursery! Go school, do own stuffs, eat then go home. Sigh! I never complain so much about school before but I think it's about time. Everyone agrees anyway. Oh but luckily we have a new teacher for TPS now! All hail Ms Ema Yusof! Haha! She rox to the max lah. Chatted with her after class today and I just felt we connected (strictly on a teacher to student basis!). Looking forward to all her classes now. At least hopefully, TPS can make me "come back" to the school. I can drift away if there's no pulling force ok. It happened before but I really don't want it to happen again. . .
Oh what a long post! Haha! Common for me when I don't post for a long period of time. Hmm, what else? Well, about me and family, I gave up like totally. Latest mom told me, she wanted her husband to come back to the family so that she can control him in some way. I don't get what my mom is thinking! Man, after all that's done? Fine I understand the trouble if divorce were to take place but this idea is crappy! Worst still, she expect me to "befriend" her husband and make everything be normal again. Is she kidding me? That's just something insane! I can never picture us as a happy family again (not like it ever was anyways). I don't know and don't care if what I did can be classified as rude to my mom but I told her straight that I'm not forgiving her husband for all that he's done and that I will never ever be on good terms with him again. My mom can have him for all she wants but I don't need him, ever! I just hope that my mom will still be around when I need her, though. Oh what a life! Sounds like too much to bear at just a young age of 17+ eh?! Oh wells. . .
